Welcome to Mod DB and the 6th Annual Mod of the Year Awards - the definative event that showcases the best mods and indie games in the world and recognizes the teams behind them. The MOTY is a tribute to the creativity, dedication & hard work independent developers put into creating unique gaming experiences that enable us to "play something different".
Over the coming months we will showcase to you the best mods and games in the industry. You vote for those you believe are worthy of recognition. At the top of this program sits the ultimate prize, the mod of the year award won previously by Natural Selection, Red Orchestra, PoE2 and Garry's Mod. Thanks to our sponsors, this year we have a few surprizes up our sleaves not to mention a slew of prizes for the participating teams.
From Dec 1st to Jan 1st, industry professionals, developers, gamers and the general public cast their votes to decide which mods define the cutting edge of interactive entertainment and which mod teams attain gaming celebrity.
Follow the links to join us on an unforgettable journey as we present the 2007 Mod of the Year.

It has been a big year of modding and a big year for the Mod DB, but nothing is bigger than our Mod of the Year (MOTY) awards which we look forward to launching in a weeks time. It is time to recognize and showcase the best of the best from the indie game development scene. This year we will be doing things just like we have in past years... but before we kick off the event in true Mod DB style we would like to hear from you, our community (and the players choice voters) how you would like this years event to be run.
What should the winning categories be? Who should win prizes, how should you vote? Put forward any ideas you have because we want this years event to be better than it ever has been. Mod DB team out.

"What should the winning categories be?... Put forward any ideas you have because we want this years event to be better than it ever has been. Mod DB team out."
I suggested there be a category for mods with original content, mods that don't rely on stealing other's intellectual property. Seeing as how the suggestion was well rec'vd (+5), that such a category would rly just be an extension of multiple aspects of moddb.com's TOS ("Must not contain copyright material ", "The mod is unique and original and not in violation of anothers intellectual property" LOL!), you'd think such a simple thing would be implemented. Instead there are less categories than last year.
So I urge you to vote for "something different"!

SSomething tells me Black Mesa Source might dominate the awards, but I hope some smaller ones get a chance. It will be interesting to see how many mods from this years new engines will make it (Crysis, UT3, etc..)
